For me i'd like to see a large colonial ship. I loved the huge old pirate ships like BSB, but the colonist ships were just so inferior it was nuts. I mean give me a man 'o war!

Secondly, how do you think the ships would be armed? With the new emphasis on firing weapons they will have some sort of cannon so... Will we bring back the old cannons? Will we use the gun in 7041? Will we use those lame flick fire things like in crystal reaper? Will there be something new altogether?

I love the pirate theme, and am on pins and needles in anticipation. I am hoping for a large European ship, as well as a large fort such as the Imperial Trading Post or Eldorado Fortress, although I don't think it's likely that LEGO will make two large colonial sets, (or any pirate sets at all, for that matter). A couple of small but well designed pirate ships will be excellent too, and I'm really glad that if this line is going to come about, it looks like we'll finally get a historically based, realistic theme for once. (No evil skeletons or evil stingrays!)

I want to se ships that use the old kind of hull piece. You know, these and these. I really don't care who they belong to (But preferably the good guys) I just hope they use those peices.

What they should do is make a big Good guy ship, a medium sized merchant ship, And a small Bad guy ship. Also a few Island/port thinngs would be nice. one Pirate and one good guy. At least one each. And don't forget the smal Island sets!

I think a nice twist on a big pirate ship for a new line would be a model that has two construction modes; just by changing a few features, flags and gunnery placements you could go from a trading vessel to a captured pirate ship for the high seas! You could have a Pirate Captain and a Trade Ship Captain, mutinous crewmen, a hapless Governor and his Daughter included in the set. There should be a nice brig as well as the standard Captain's Quarters, a cargo hold and all the usual decks. I'd like to see a set like this no smaller than the Skull's Eye Schooner (and at least as detailed), but with neutral sails so you can run up the Jolly Rdger when you feel the urge to go Privateer. It would add to the play features, increase collector value and encourage multiple copies.

Add-on sets could be a long boat with crewmen, a medium sized costal fort, a trade harbour, a tavern for wayward sailors and recruiting pirates, a shipwreck island and a fast and well armed Imperial Warship to enforce the trade winds!
